“I hear the Nürburgring is for sale. It’s quite possible that I buy it. At least I’m thinking about it.”

For the last 86 years the Nürburgring has been under public ownership and Ja zum Nürburgring / Save The Ring with support from motorsport, the local region and the worldwide community is fighting heavily that it remains under non-profit-making organisation. That is the only way to keep grass root motorsport - the very reason why the Nürburgring exists - alive under todays already tense economical burdens.

My feeling (and that of many others) is: as Bernie Ecclestone is the complete opposite of a non-profit-making organisation tourist drives and races series like RCN and VLN (and as a consequence 24 Hours too) would dissapear in no time.
